I have two large canvas prints, if I filled the back within the wooden surround frame work with fiber glass would this make a nice early 1st refection midroom room treatment?
Follow Ups:
I filled the back of large canvas with acoustic foam. It helps with mid-bass not with mid-hi range. You cannot consider it properly an acoustic panel but it is better than leaving it empty.
Cheers
Roberto
Jon did some of the definitive research on DIY acoustical treatments and he posts in this asylum and others. Research under his name and find his personal Website for details on what does and doesn't work.
Anything you put at your first reflection points, assuming that's where you actually put it, will do something, but whether or not it's good depends on many factors.
What makes for a good absorber, which is what you seem to want, is the density of the materials and the porosity (to acoustics) of the covering, and the size/area that this all takes up. So just having a large print to back isn't necessarily going to do much at all.
If your "canvas" is printed, primed, coated, or painted artist canvas, it's going to be very reflective and won't let many of the right frequencies through to the stuffing for absorption. Think something more like burlap that is not painted or speaker grille cloth as more appropriate in texture and weave (though you can find many regular cloths that might fit that bill and look nice to you). It's not an issue of the decoration that's on it, it's a matter of whether the weave overall is porous to the sound waves at certain frequencies.
How much fiberglass and how densely it's packed is the major variable after that cloth interface. So read up on those factors to determine whether or not it's worth the effort.
With regard to fabric, Guilford of Maine sells acoustic fabrics that works well to properly cover fiberglass, though obviously not a solution for artwork.
